Gasconade County Republican Number 50 OWENSVILLE, MISSOURI, FRIDAY, OCT. 20, 1915. Volume 10 The above photo introduces to you the wood saving and quick heating Wilson Heaters of which we have a large and complete assortment of styles and sizes. If in need of a heater see us for prices before buying. H. & A. KOCH H. A. Kramme Sells Out Henry A. Kramme, who luis been in the mercantile business for the I Clayton Wednesday to Ben Holt part seven years, this week sold out to Messrs. Fred H. Berjjer and P. P. Ohmann, who will take charge at once. The deal was closed Tuesday, nnd Thursday and Friday the store will be closed while the stock is being invoiced. Mr. Kramme, whose health has not been of the best lately, will take charge of the farm of his motherMi'n-law, Mrs. Caroline Tay-loe, which his brother, Charlie, has been farming. Both Mr. Ohmann and Mr. Ber-ger have had years of experience as merchants. Constable Price Captures Runaways Road Building Machinery Dr. Tupper's Lecture Soupc Mnnpv I ! The lecture of Dr. Kerr Boyce Tupper, of Philadelphia, Wednes- Countv Should Have Two Outfits da fining attracted a huge uiili Jf'i ruiuii r uuiuuiii'e, itiiu we were especially pleased to note the presence of so many of our young people. Dr. Tupper's sub ject was, "Optimism vs. Pessinv ism ; or, Looking at the Bright Side of Things." He presented many ordinary facts in a manner new and entertaining to most of us and stoutly maintained that the world is growing better. Many people point to the newspapers with their daily accounts of mur ders, robberies, divorces, and scandals as evidence that the world is getting worse instead of better, but Dr. Tupper asks us to stop and think of the thousands, yes, millions of instances where people do right and live right as compared with the individual cases of evil exploited bv the newspapers. The fact is our news. papers deal largely with the dark side of life and let the bright side take care of itself. It is simply a good example of the results of ad vertising. The evil things in this old world are advertised daily while the good is neglected. The result is that we are so familiar with the evil and so unfamiliar with the good that we get to thinking the world is fast going to the dogs. Isn't it true? Dr. Tupper would have us look at the bright side of life, at the same time not forgetting that there is a dark side and not neglecting to do our share in remedying the evils. Splendidly educated, widely traveled and a polished orator, Dr. Tupper is a man who can hold the attention of any audience. Our community has only too few opportunities to hear such men. The Republican is strong for lectures and entertainments of an educational and elevating character. That's why we advocated the Chautauqua last summer and that's why we now strongly advocate a lyceum course consisting of lectures and musical programs. Some folks seem to think that adequate shelter and daily bread with perhaps a church to go to on' Sunday is all there is in life. No wonder the young people want to leave home! Make Owens-ville a place to LIVE in; not merely a place to stay. I Tn tellincr r i f n trin tfi Richland township to Bee the new Mogul tractor anil Austin grader recent ly purchased by the County Court at work building roads, the editor of the Hermann Advertiser-Cour ier sayB it's a waste of county funds to build roads the old way; the new way is a leap from medieval methods to 20th century wavs. A 5-mile stretch of road at Gasconade was completed, that is, properly eraded and ditched with this outfit in 5 days at total cost not exceeding $50. The editor of the A-C ends his ar ticle as follows and we heartily agree: "The investment, made by the county court, saved the county at least several hundred dollars on this 5-mile stretch alone. And let us remember that there are hundreds of 5-mile stretches just aching to allow savings of hundreds of dollars. It will be poor system to make the many road districts wait for this one outfit to build and to return to keep up roads, so why not invest in another of these well-'hested and approved Mogul tractorB and Austin graders? We need one outfit for the southern and one for the northern end o Gasconade county." 1 Holt-Nicks A marriage license was issued at and Nora Nicks, both of Owens' ville, and we presume they were married at Clayton. The bride is a daughter of Mrs. Win. Nicks and Mr. Holt is a son of Mr. and Mrs. Logan Holt. Both have grown up near Owensville and have a large circle of friends who join lis in extending congratula turns and best wishes. Box Supper and Debate A box supper and debate will be given at the Schimmel school Saturday night November 6. The ladies are requested to bring boxes. BRYAN GROSS. Teacher, Notice to Hunters hunting or tresspassing The Jenkins boys, Robt. and Jim. are again in the county jail. Constable Price caught them as they were making a visit to their i No home at Canaan. Both boys had j ttiu llP allowed on my farm. escapea irom me sneriuv aoout a 3tp E. J. REED. week ago, when the latter was i allowing them to do janitor work about the court house. Their attempt at escape was a most foolish move, especially jn view of the fact that they were sitting out but $100 fines. Hermann A-C. Notice Having sold my store to Messrs. Berger and Ohmann, I wish to call in all rebate tickets. All having such tickets bring them in to the store before Nov. 15, 1915, and they will be redeemed. After that date they will positively be no good. H. A. KRAMME.

Nixon came through our j burg the first of the week enroute , to Canaan to buy railroad ties. There seems to be a good demand for good ties. Fritz Schalk and family were visiting at Aug. Wacker's Sunday. Aug. Kuhne is circulating a petition for the establishment of a new county road. Chas. Uffmann was cutting oats ffir the farmers the first of the week. Fritz Sassmann had the misfortune to lose a straw stack by fire last week. The dance nt Fred Pletz's Saturday evening was well attended. Mrs. Herm.

Going Out of Business Prices Slaughtered Right and Left I am oiug out of business. This is no scheme to sell goods or reduce my stock, but the actual fact and this will be a bona fide Closing Out Sale. I have a tempting offer in another line of work and I intend to take advantage of it. Having tried to dispose of my store without success, there is but one course left to sell piece by piece, even at a great sacrifice. This is what I am going to do and as it is to my advantage to do it quick, the prices offered will be that much more to your advantage. LISTEN These prices I am offering you in all departments absolutely cannot be made by a merchant who intends to stay in business. I am not looking for profit but will be satisfied if I can close out my stock with a reasonable loss. This sale is your opportunity and may never come again. When you come in this store after the sale starts you will see every article of merchandise marked in plain figures at the sale prices. Sale Starts Saturday, October 23 Can't tell how long it will last but don't expect it will take long at these prices. 3triCtly CdSll 3lG flll't be otherwise at these prices and for this purpose. Look at these bargains. There are many more like them all through my entire stock. Can't tell you all of them but you will see for yourself when you come to the sale.
